TIME TRACKER® VISUAL TIMER

The Time Tracker Visual Timer® helps manage time in a new
way. Lighted color sections give visual cues as to the amount
of time remaining to complete a task. Each section represents
a portion of time. You can program exactly how long each of
the sections remains lit, or you can select the automatic setting
and the Time Tracker will divide the time for you. Use the
Time Tracker to time tests, practice sessions, study sessions,
experiments, phone calls, speeches, or any timed activity.

INSERT BATTERIES

You will need:
4 AAA batteries

Phillips screwdriver

1. Turn the Time Tracker

®

over. Use the Phillips screwdriver to
turn the screw on the battery door in a counterclockwise
direction to loosen the screw.

2. Remove the screw and open the door.

3. Pull the clear tab sticking out of the backup battery
compartment to activate backup batteries.

4. Insert the four AAA batteries, being careful to match the +
and – ends of the batteries to the diagram inside the battery
compartment.

5. Replace the battery compartment door and insert the screw.
Tighten the screw by using the Phillips screwdriver to turn
the screw in a clockwise direction until secure. Do not over­tighten the screw.

GETTING STARTED

The Time Tracker has 3 modes:

CLOCK – Standard digital
clock.

TIMER – Program exactly
how long you want each
color section to stay lit.

AUTO TIMER –
Program the total
amount of time. The
color sections will
automatically divide
into 80% green, 15%
yellow, and 5% red.
For example, if you
program 10 minutes
as your total time, the
green section will stay
lit for 8 minutes, the
yellow section for 1
minute 30 seconds,
and the red section for
30 seconds.

Before setting the time, please note:

1. If you do not press a button within 30 seconds, you will exit

the programming mode.

2. Press MENU at any time to go back to the previous step.

3. Once you have set the TIMER and/or Auto timer, those
times will remain programmed in the unit until you change
them. Once programmed, you can go directly to STARTING
the TIMER.

4. There are audio alerts when the timer switches from green
to yellow to red. Turn the volume all the way down to mute
the sound.

MONITOR DE TIEMPO

®

El monitor de tiempo te ayuda a gestionar el tiempo de una
forma nueva. Se compone de secciones de colores que se
iluminan para dar pistas visuales de cuánto tiempo queda para
completar una tarea. Cada sección representa una cantidad de
tiempo. Puedes programar exactamente cuánto tiempo quieres
que permanezca iluminada cada sección o bien seleccionar
la configuración automática y dejar que el monitor de tiempo
divida el tiempo por ti. Utiliza el monitor de tiempo para
cronometrar pruebas, sesiones prácticas, sesiones de estudio,
experimentos, llamadas de teléfono, discursos o cualquier otra
actividad programada.

INSERTAR LAS PILAS

Necesitarás:
4 pilas AAA

Destornillador de estrella

1. Dale la vuelta al monitor de tiempo. Con un destornillador de
estrella, desatornilla el tornillo de la tapa de las pilas hacia la
izquierda.

2. Quita el tornillo y abre la puerta.

3. Estira de la lengüeta de plástico que sobresale del

compartimento de las pilas de repuesto para activarlas.

4. Inserta cuatro pilas AAA, teniendo cuidado de que coincidan

los extremos + y - de las pilas con el diagrama dentro del
compartimento de las pilas.

5. Cierra la tapa del compartimento y coloca el tornillo.

Atorníllalo con el destornillador de estrella girándolo a la

secciones de colores
dividirán el tiempo
automáticamente:
la luz verde se
